How to Choose Tiles for Your Adelaide Home That Won't Date!

Modernising your surfaces might require swapping out old tiles for the trendiest designs, but this isn't always true. You can spruce up the space in your Adelaide home by choosing timeless, classic tiles. These tiles are more traditional and won't quickly become outdated. Identifying the most classic designs will help you spruce up your Adelaide home without risking rapidly falling out of style. This post will help you select the best tiles for a timeless look.

 

Always Go for Neutrals

Believe it or not, colour is one of the main factors that can make tiles look dated. While bright colours are appealing when they are on the cover of a magazine, they quickly fall out of favour. Sticking to a neutral palette is the best choice to create an interior design look that will keep looking good through the years. White and black are excellent options, but any other neutral can work. If you want to add warmth to a room, nude tones and different shades of brown are also the right choices. On the other hand, colours falling on the greyscale are an excellent choice for those looking to add a relaxed feel to their space.

 

Try Geometric Patterns

Using geometric tile patterns is prominent in kitchens, bathrooms, and other tiled surfaces. Because of this, they are now considered classic in design. Unlike solid, simple tiles, adding patterns provides a more exciting and elaborate look without being too over the top. Hexagonal or octagonal tiles are an excellent choice for subtly introducing designs. These types of geometric tiles are available in small and large sizes. You can use single-coloured tiles or blend in different-coloured tiles from a colour spectrum, for example, a scale of grey tones.

Another stylish but traditional geometric pattern you can try is herringbone. Used in homes for decades, this pattern is not going anywhere soon. The applications of herringbone tiles are endless and frequently used in backsplashes, bathrooms, and showers.

 

Mix It Up With a Checkerboard Pattern.

The classic black-and-white checkerboard pattern is great if you want to try a more fun or exciting pattern. The classic contrast of black and white instantly adds elegance to any room. Black and white chequers are more commonly used in tiled flooring. However, they can also resurface the walls. You can install larger or smaller chequered tiles depending on the desired look.
